Got crap? Dispose of it responsibly at Hard 2 Recycle

The environmental nonprofit Asheville GreenWorks wants to help you unload all that unnecessary clutter in your life with the second of its five annual Hard 2 Recycle events for 2017.

The public is invited to drop off hard to recycle items from 100 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the City Public Works parking lot at 161 S. Charlotte St.

“This event is great for those who’ve been doing spring cleaning and have old electronics or other items that they aren’t sure how to dispose of, that might otherwise end up in the landfill,” said Asheville GreenWorks Director of Operations Eric Bradford. “We also have great partner organizations like the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Asheville Humane Society that will be on hand to take donations of items like furniture, towels and blankets that still have use left in them.”

Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, Asheville Humane Society, and Snake, Rabbit, and Snail Bookmobile will be accepting donations of building supplies and furniture, animal sanctuary supplies, and gently used books respectively.

Each year, Asheville GreenWorks hosts five Hard 2 Recycle events: four quarterly collections to cover the four corners of Buncombe County and one central event in downtown Asheville.

Established in 1973, Asheville GreenWorks inspires, equips and mobilizes individuals and communities to take care of the places we love to live. With thousands of volunteers, Asheville GreenWorks engages the community in grassroots projects including tree plantings, urban agriculture, environmental cleanups, anti-litter and waste reduction education, creation of green spaces, and preservation of Asheville’s rivers and trees.
